Answer:

The probability that the month starts with the letter J or the letter M is 41.66%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that a month of the year is chosen at random, to determine what is the probability that the month starts with the letter J or the letter M, the following calculation must be performed:

January - March - May - June - July = 5 months

(5/12) x 100 = X

0.4166 x 100 = X

41.66 = X

Therefore, the probability that the month starts with the letter J or the letter M is 41.66%.

Answer:

5/12

Step-by-step explanation:

Months that start with the letter M are March and May

Months that start with J are January, June, July

So, in total the months that start with J and M are 5 in number.

Total number of months = 12

Therefore the probability = 5/12 or 0.416 (bar on 6)

Find an explicit formula for the geometric sequence -40,-20,-10......

garik1379 [7]

Answer:

The explicit formula for the geometric sequence is $c(n) = -40\cdot \left(\frac{1}{2} \right)^{n-1}$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

By definition of geometric sequence, we should use the following expression:

$c(n) = c_{1}\cdot r^{n-1}$ , $n \ge 1$ (1)

Where:

$c_{1}$ - First term.

$r$ - Geometric rate.

$n$ - Position of the element within the series.

If we know that $c_{1} = -40$ and $r = \frac{1}{2}$ , then the explicit formula for the geometric sequence is:

$c(n) = -40\cdot \left(\frac{1}{2} \right)^{n-1}$

The explicit formula for the geometric sequence is $c(n) = -40\cdot \left(\frac{1}{2} \right)^{n-1}$ .

Pls help!!!!<br> Will mark brainliest

Answer: D) 3x - 5

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) - g(x)
f(x) = 1/2x - 3
g(x) = -5/2x + 2

Using the values of f(x) and g(x) gives us the equation:
1/2x - 3 - (-5/2x +2)

By distributing the negative sign, the signs on 5/2 and 2 are flipped, making them positive and negative respectively.

Our new equation is:

1/2x -3 + 5/2x -2
Adding up like numbers gives us:

6/2x - 5

Simplifying 6/2x => 3x

So our final equation is:

3x - 5
Hope this helps!
